They spend it on artificially low prices, often charging the riders even less than they pay the drivers in markets where they are new and growing. The idea is that they will get a sticky network of riders and drivers and then raise prices l

The thing about Microsoft’s stuff is that it slowly but inexorably gets better over time. Like a watched pot, if you are waiting for a feature it will never arrive but if you walk away and come back a few years later it will be significantl

Another thing in OneNote’s favor is you know it’s going to stick around because they sell it to businesses. With Evernote it seems like they could run out of money and with Google they could just get bored.

I like how you are the expert on when pot smoking on the street in my neighborhood became a thing, despite not knowing what neighborhood I’m even talking about.

Do what, exactly? Make a normative recommendation like “you gotta?”

Lot of equations here. A non mathematical way to understand it is to look at societies where men can marry multiple wives. The rich and high status men have several leaving many men with none. These men with zero chance of reproduction beco

Which school district are you referring to? We are looking for a competitive, challenging school district without a suicide problem.

Who is “we”? Public schools at the local level in the US are very diverse. If you have the money you can find public school systems as good as Ivy League colleges, with a self-selected peer population of students with highly engaged parents

Lowering educational standards to meet the needs of the 20th percentile student is preternaturally stupid and is why we’ll be moving out of San Francisco before our kids are in school.

Maybe mine did as well. Yes, there are plenty of places where smoking pot transcends class. 6th and Market, Geary and Leavenworth, 3rd and Brannan even. Keep the low income housing and homeless shelters there . Don’t fuck up new neighborho

Yes, because without appropriate guidance and modeling, people create Hobbesian dystopias. Countries like Finland and even the US are anomalies which need costly, active, intervention to maintain.

It’s even more wrong to portray prisoners as a bunch of hapless victims. I’ve had to interact with prisoners in a previous career and less than 10% are people I would allow in my home.

I’m not asking SFPD to ticket these guys, I’m just asking policymakers to not import them into my neighborhood of luxury condos and families with small children.

They didn’t in my neighborhood before the introduction of this complex. I assume that the neighborhoods you’re referencing may be where they moved in from, and it’s there that I prefer they stay.

Obviously, not all low income people are alike. But in nearby San Francisco, they built a low income housing complex near my house, and now there are people outside the entryway smoking marijuana in public at least 1 in 10 times I pass it.

The thing is that because the highest-ROI application of machine learning is online advertising, unquestionably the two deepest pools of machine learning talent are at Google and Facebook. So this may be able to overcome the obvious culture

It’s a misconception that the only good political actions are nonviolent. Many great political actions have had a large violent component, including those written down in the history books as nonviolent, such as the Indian independence move

But hasn’t someone solved this inefficiency? Hasn’t someone created a marketplace for buyers and sellers of PhD-level data analysis to find each other?

Good to see Zuck admit loss in a couple of these issues. Now it’s up to the regulators to take the ball to the net.

Learning a language as an adult is completely different from learning as a kid. Your hypothetical “dumbest French person” would not have been able to learn French as an adult, the same way that the most physically fit 100 year old could not

The question is what the intention was. A carpenter doing models for IKEA would be expected to design for million-unit volumes from the start.

A nuclear power plant failure, in the worst case, is much worse than the worst case pilot error.

One cost advantage to delivery is that you can prepare the food in conditions so horrifying that nobody would eat it if they saw it in person. Some of the Deliveroo-exclusive restaurants in London are like this, inside shipping containers.

Making something that’s easy to take apart often makes it bigger, because interfaces need to be modularized. I’ve never needed to open one of my iPhones and would not want them 1mm thicker to be repairable.

Most of the top earners in Silicon Valley are at FAANG companies which I assume are more C++ shops than Node startups.

This has nothing to do with predatory ads. It’s because these ad policies can be used to exclude certain races from certain housing which is illegal.

These multi-millionaires arent exactly discussing Kierkegaard over port wine... they’re C++ wizards who are buying 7 bedroom houses when they only have 2 kids. Of course they go nuts for this cheesy shit.
